Report considering the current system of homelessness provision in England, and areas where improvement is needed.

When homelessness legislation was first introduced in 1977, it created an enforceable right to housing for some homeless people.

The legislation continues to assist thousands of homeless households every year. Yet homelessness has not gone away. Certain debates and issues still persist.

On the thirtieth anniversary of the original homeless legislation, this report considers the current system of homelessness provision in England, the strengths to be retained, and areas where improvement is needed.

Compulsory reading for anyone working in the area of homelessness.
